Advent 2025 E20 - It's a Beautiful Pancake...

We wish you the Merry Christmas. We wish you the Christmas and the Happy New Year.

The Miller Morning Madhouse Advent Calendar.

December 20th do you decorate the house with

like outdoor lighting i don't i'm the worst at that

i am not my uh generation before

me you know as far as like my parents and stuff like that with decorating yeah

i just don't you inside of the house is decorated outside now oh no so is that

you or mrs bacon burton doing the deck she does a lot of the decorating same do you do any I help,

This is very funny I use that wordlessly I also help I drink and watch,

I drink and watch and help Jerry Pancake as needed Oh she did help me when I

almost fell off the ladder trying to get the Christmas tree out of the attic

If you need any help let me know I'll be right over here Not helping,

I'm like oh Oh, and then she looked around and she's like, oh, it looks like he got it.

So here is the key.

Jerry Pancake almost killed at Christmas. I mean, obviously,

I got stuck up in that attic one time. Like Clark Griswold?

Similar. I mean, it's not as high. You could have jumped it.

I mean, I don't know. I was scared. And Jen Pancake was not home.

And she wasn't coming home for like five hours. And I'm like,

this was a terrible idea.

Why did I come up here? I think it was last holiday season. Cause I was going

to put some lights up there or something.

It's wild ideas. And then I got stuck. it's just us. Why do we even have to do anything?

I don't understand. Well, I mean, you have children. You have children.

Well, they're not children anymore. I mean, they're still my children.

I mean, but still, you and your wife, your lovely wife, probably want to create

an illusion of a warm and loving... An illusion. An illusion.

Or maybe just create a loving... Not an illusion.

An actual... You just play pretend that you guys are a good family for one fucking night, you know?

Act like you guys like each other. All right. Maybe just not the illusion,

but actually a warm and loving Christmas is what I was going to say.

Whereas us, we don't meet. The word you're looking for is environment.

Well, I just asked her, I was like, you know, it'll help me because I'm really

depressed this time of year if we just decorated.

She said, I don't care about it. But here is my question. I don't.

So to me, I have a very hard line of demarcation of when it's appropriate to

have the decorations going.

Well, Thanksgiving. Oh, you got a start and a stop time? I think that there

are a number of people who don't.

Like a lot of people put their Christmas shit up before Thanksgiving.

I'm like, dude, you're skipping a holiday here.

Like I have my outdoor decorations. They might be up, but they are not lit.

It's a hard rule. Like Thanksgiving evening. You guys go extreme on the outdoor.

Not the last few years. Really?

Thank God. I want to skip all the holidays to summer, but then I don't really like the 4th of July.

You hate the summer holidays. I do. Jerry eats. You hate everything.

So let's get back to Christmas. Before we do, let me just sum up Jerry.

Summer holidays. Memorial Day. Fucking Memorial Day.

4th of July. Why do we need this extra holiday? What is with all the fucking fireworks? Air show.

Shit bags. A lot of shit bags. And then Labor Day, thank God,

it's almost over. That's Jerry in the summer.

Yeah. And then Halloween is a whole other.

Pretty next level here in Miller. You don't like Halloween?

I used to. When I was a child, I did.

He told me, he was like, Halloween's for children.

I'm like, well, I don't know if we can go on. But now I've come around to it. It's fine.

She doesn't make me wear, like, I was scared she was going to make me wear makeup.

He will put on a dress and a wig, but no makeup. No makeup.

And I don't really like the wigs either, because it gets... You are a lying

fucker, because we've talked on this show how you love a wig.

These were plenty of wigs. Well, I will wear a wig. I love wigs.

We're getting off track of Christmas.
